Morning all!  Probably just passing through in a hurry again as I have things I should do...  SD, it's the same owl as before. He's called "Tinks" and he was rescued by a local birds of prey centre as some chap had picked him up when he'd fallen out of a nest and then realised that he was rather demanding to keep! I got to hold him when I had an afternoon there for my 30th birthday (which I realise now makes it clear that I'm older than Splodge!  I think I'm going to start counting backwards now!) SF we have car insurance to sort out too. It is indeed very  inducing! Panda, impressive on the baking and cleaning. I discovered something a couple of weeks ago - I'm best at cleaning/tidying when I'm in a Bad Mood!  Something made me cross at work and by the end of the day the office had suddenly had a major tidy and sort! It's a lot better now!  Have a good day everyone! |

Good morning!  I'm on something of an adrenylin rush today.   Must be those press-ups I've started doing after I wake up. Much more effective than coffee. The adrenylin rush has helped me apply for 3 jobs today already. |

Today I shall be looking for a wedding outfit  Aaaaaagh - shopping hell  . (Many fluffies here will be totally baffled..... but I understand  ). Morning all. I have a posh gallery opening to go to today because a friend and her husband are launching their new gallery. Some might say they are barking mad   but they're giving it their best shot and are doing it all 'right'. They've used contacts to get the nationals along to give them some puff which is somewhat better than the local evening paper!  to them . |

Good luck finding an outfit SF and I hope the gallery opening is a success for your friends Splodge, and the gallery as an enterprise in general Morning all Last night the RCD (I think) tripped again taking all the house electrics out  Methinks it's time to get the spark out to find out what he wired up funny in the kitchen  I thought the boiler/hot water/heating timer box had gone poof too but I just had to reset it  On the plus side, I now know that the washing machine remembers where it is in its cycle and doesn't start from the beginning when the power comes back on |

Morning. finding an outfit SF. Splodge, to your friends and their new venture.  Taking Zac to see a new vet today. The vet's I use atm are good but they charge a fortune for flea stuff. £24 for 3 pipettes which works out at £48 for 3 months protection. When I asked for a prescription so that I could get 3 for £15 online I was told by the practice manager that by law they could only have 1 item on each prescription and they charge £6 per prescription.  That sounded like bullshit to me so I contacted the Veterinary Medicines Directorate who confirmed that it was bullshit so I'm off. I will not be lied to.  I've had a recomendation for the new vet from the guy we got Zac from so I'm going to give her the once over today. |

While I miss having pets - I don't miss vets' bills. Why you have to have a prescription for flea stuff beats me! Good Luck S/F - don't envy you at all!

Ridiculous isn't it? New vet will charge about £20 for 3 but I want to check out whether she'll do me a prescription. Prescriptions last for 6 months so I should be able to get enough for the summer though some vets insist on seeing animals every 3 months. |

I know you would have to use an aweful lot of flea medication to do any harm, but it can be toxic in high dosages (for dogs, rediculously high dosages, for cats it would take less). They just want to make sure people only use the recomended dosage. Morning  I'm going shopping today, too. Exeter, here I come! I have to get stuff for interviews and/or work (if it works out in the restaurant  ). |

Another nice morning here. After yesterday's unsuccessful wedding outfit expedition, we're going into battle in the big smoke today...  I think I'll just do taxi. |

Another day of today. But should all be done and dusted by Sunday, just in time for me to be spoilt rotten . (Mr S asked me what I want to do as a treat and I said sleep  ).
